THE ODYSSEY
MITCHEL, STEPHEN; HOMER
Stephen Mitchell’s Iliad caused a stir on its publication and was chosen as one of the New Yorker’s
favorite books for 2011. Now Mitchell brings his vivid poetic power to the Odyssey, the original epic
voyage into the unknown that has inspired other creative work for millennia—from ancient poems to
modern fiction and movies. With its consummately modern hero, full of guile and wit, always prepared to
reinvent himself, the Odyssey is perfectly suited to our times. Mitchell’s translation brings it to life for those
who have never read it before or have tried and given up.

OIL AND HONEY
MCKIBBEN, BILL
Bill McKibben is not a person you'd expect to find handcuffed and behind bars, but that's where he found
himself in the summer of 2011 after leading the largest civil disobedience in thirty years, protesting the
Keystone XL pipeline in front of the White House. With the Arctic melting, the Midwest in drought, and
Irene scouring the Atlantic, McKibben recognized that action was needed if solutions were to be found.
Some of those would come at the local level, where McKibben joins forces with a Vermont beekeeper
raising his hives as part of the growing trend toward local food. Other solutions would come from a much
larger fight against the fossil-fuel industry as a whole. Oil and Honey is McKibben’s account of these two
necessary and mutually reinforcing sides of the global climate fight—from the center of the maelstrom
and from the growing hive of small-scale local answers. With empathy and passion he makes the case for
a renewed commitment on both levels, telling the story of raising one year’s honey crop and building a
social movement that’s still cresting.
